"Once I was a patient of the practice, scheduling has been good. He a fantastic surgeon! He is gentle when he communicates bad news. He is so skilled. There is something" ...More about him that just makes you know that is going to be okay. He is really, very good.

"I didn't know there was a shoulder specialist at the Hand Clinic, but he was that as well. I believe he fully understood the issue and treated it properly. No stress and easy to be with.

Sounds like you should be pursuing a disability claim. Also, you could speak to your previous doctor frankly about your concerns. Have they made orthotics for your shoes that distribute your weight better?

Whoops - I just realized that you may have been looking for Angie's List information on providers outside your home market. To see information on providers that aren't in your home Angie's List chapter, you can elect to pay a small addditional fee (generally about $15 to $20) to add another city's Angie's List to your existing memember.

Shoulder Care reviews in Reno

did a fantastic job. He in one of three guys that has worked under Dr.

, who is the top of his profession and very well respected. The surgery went well and I have had follow up visits. The facility and staff are wonderful. Dr.

makes you feel that your time is just as important ...More as anyone else's. He's very caring and thorough. We drive quite a bit of distance to get to see Dr.

and the drive is very well worth it.”

Dr.

and staff were very knowledgeable and kind. I felt 100% confident in them to fix my shoulder properly. They did a great job and I haven't had shoulder problems in my active lifestyle since.”

He's no-nonsense and tells it like it is. He came highly recommended to me. He's very professional and knows what he's doing; I feel confident in his work. He listens to your questions and addresses each one. I typically wait 30 minutes to be seen when I go in for my appointment.”

“

Because my son's shoulder was not improving, he was scheduled for an MRI on Christmas Eve. We did not expect to hear back with the results until after the holiday. Yet, Dr.

called within a few hours to give us the report. Very pleased with his knowledge and rapport.”

The staff was very helpful on the phone when I inquired about my insurance and need to make sure my visit was covered.
My appointment was for 9:40. I arrived at 9:30 and the waiting room was almost filled with people. Within ten minutes all 30+ seats were taken and people were standing and leaning against the walls.
After over an hours ...More wait I was taken to the inner waiting room where the (I am not sure if she was a nurse as she was dressed in street clothes) ASKED my weight/height which I told her. Then she asked me what my blood pressure was. I didn't know so she said, 'I guess I'll have to take it'. Then she said she was going to take me in for an X-

. I told her the doctor should have my MRI. She looked at my file (for the first time) and said, 'oh, you're right'. She left. I waited another 7 minutes and heard the doctor outside the door, (walls were very thin) say, 'I'll do that after I finish with this room (not patient)". Dr.

was very nice, a little patronizing but to the point said that I would need surgery. He apologized for the long wait, saying everyone wanted to see the doctor during the holidays. (No excuse to overbook, my thought). He said he would be giving me two prescriptions; one for pain and a salve to put on my shoulder that would ease the pain. After 8 minutes (I had my iPad to do work so I timed my visit) the woman in street clothes came in and handed me a paper to give the billing person. I said, the doctor was giving me two prescriptions. She said she hadn't been told. She left. 4 minutes passed. She returned with one prescription. I again said, the doctor was giving me two. She left. 3 minutes passed. Another lady entered (in a uniform) and said that the doctor normally doesn't give prescriptions for pain until after the surgery. I said he told me he would. She left and returned after 6 minutes with the prescription. By this time, both the inefficiency of the support staff, the

lights and the peeling cabinets did not

well for an Angies List A+ doctor (I used Angies list to find a orthopedic surgeon). I have since scheduled an appointment with another orthopedic surgeon using my doctors recommendation.”

I had surgery, After surgery Dr. gave very brief and limited instruction to my wife. Nurse called later to see if everything was ok, when I ask about the surgery she said she didn't know anything and would have the dr

me, never happened,
I called 4 times the next day to speak with the dr. no return call. I called after ...More hours 2 times for doctor on call/someone to call as I was having some problems, no call.
Called the next day 3 times, had a nurse return the call but she said she didn't know what had been done and she would have dr to call. no call..
Called the next day (day 4) 3 times, finally had an intern return my call, I ask why the dr. never returned calls, he said the doctor was to busy to return calls, Intern couldn't answer my questions, I ask for Dr.

to call me, nothing happened.
Within 1 week I had the bill. I had to go to my primary care dr. to remove staples and he answered some of my questions. If Dr.

finds speaking to patients a problem maybe he should find something else to do.
I called and spoke to the VCU patient advocate, she said she would look into this at once. She called that afternoon, said she was very sorry but she couldn't get the doctor to return her call, she didn't know what else to do.”

Great! I had heard from several others what a painful surgery to expect and how bad the rehab would be. I have had none of that. The surgery went well. No pain medication after the 5th day. Rehad started after the 8th week and hasn't been painful at all. I look forward to it and am excited that after just 4 months I can go so much more than ...More before the surgery.”
